PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- Federal government employees have been fired nationwide, but Governor Larry Rhoden says state officials don’t know how many of those employees were in South Dakota.

So far, Rhoden says, state employees are still receiving the information they need from the federal level in order to administer programs such as SNAP or Medicaid.

If any of the now-unemployed federal workers are looking for jobs, Rhoden says South Dakota has plenty of openings.

Job opening information as well as Job Service office locations and hours of operation can be found on the South Dakota Department of Labor website.
